Daytime zombie

21 Jun, 2026


The era of pulling all-nighters and then going to work as usual in the morning is definitely behind me. I can’t physically afford to do that anymore. These days, my body automatically shuts down before midnight. If I somehow stay up past 0:00 am, it’s incredibly difficult for me to fall asleep, and I end up just tossing and turning in bed for hours. If that happens for two nights in a row, by the morning of the third day, I’ll be exhausted. My eyelids become heavy, and my head is spinning slightly. I move slowly, turn my head sparingly, and if someone asks me something, I opt for mumbles like ”Uh”, ”Hmm”, ”OK” instead of giving clear, coherent answers as usual.
